Selene was too preoccupied to notice his anger, and kept rambling, "Melody, you have to believe me. I'm your own cousin sister. How could I ever hurt you? He forced me to do all of this."
"Selene!" Briar's face turned red with rage as he glared at her. "You were clearly the one who seduced me. You said you were more obedient than Melody... that we were more compatible. How can you say such things now? Darling, everything that happened before was my fault. She seduced me, and I was weak. I couldn't resist the temptation. I swear I'll never do it again... Please forgive me just this once."
Watching them fight like cats and dogs, I suddenly found it somewhat amusing.
Just yesterday they were all lovey-dovey in bed together, and today they're throwing each other under the bus.
It really does prove the saying, "When disaster strikes, it's every man for himself."
I continued to ignore Briar and turned my gaze to Selene, smiling faintly. "You're saying he forced you?"
